So, it’s Monday – Back to reality and time to detox from everything easter egg and easter bunny related, as well as all that CANDY! I hope that all of you had a great Easter weekend.

Here in Texas we had a good time and Lennox went to bed on Easter Candy overload! We started our weekend, by having some fun around the house on Saturday and making some super cute Easter Bunny crafts for the family.

Saturday night, Lennox asked to go to bed, early. That NEVER happens. She said she needed to get to bed before the Easter Bunny came! She was so excited to hear about when I was little and the Easter Bunny came… then…She started crying, because she was afraid he would skip the house if she was awake. It was so sweet, we got her tucked in and off to sleepy land. And guess what? The Easter Bunny came! She was relieved!

This year the bunny hid clues in all her eggs and had her “hopping” around the house to get all her treats and ended at her basket, which was hidden in our bathroom!

Even sweeter was that, before bed she was singing the Petter Cottontail song and realized that the bunny was suppose to bring mommy orchids.. so guess what I had Easter morning? Yup – I bought some orchids 🙂 She was happy about that too – whatever makes her believe in the magic! <3

So once we were done exploring our goodies, eating some candy and getting ready – we had to head to Tyler to visit with Kyle’s side of our family.

I swear she always has a bigger and better smile in pictures with Sissy and Kollin than with mommy and daddy!!Of course, someone was very spoiled from all the family – and of course she didn’t object. Lennox is one lucky little girl.

Being a little bit crazy – she may have started her sugar rush here…

I love this little girl and this hat that her Mimi made her!

Before it was time to go, we had to do the “confetti eggs” before Lennox lost her mind! She has been so excited for them ever since Aunt Katie introduced her to them last Easter!

If you haven’t tried confetti eggs, they are pretty awesome and so much fun! It was then time to head back home. Lennox ate so much candy in the car that she was bouncing off the walls! I see a lot of fruits and veggies in her future tomorrow! Oh well, you’re only a kid once and the easter bunny is all about the sweets! Another great holiday in the books.

One last PEEPS® treat before Easter morning! I told you that we love PEEPS® in this house! This would be a cute treat to make for Easter morning or even an afternoon snack! This one is very fast and you can put it together ahead of time, no problem – Easter morning Donuts with Coconut and PEEPS®.

PEEPS® Easter Morning Donuts

What you will need:

Mini powered sugar donuts

PEEPS®

Coconut (I dyed mine green)

Frosting (for “glue”)

How to make:

Using mini powered sugar donuts, put a small amount of white or green frosting on top of the donut.

Sprinkle green coconut on top of the frosting to make a “nest”. Note: to make coconut green, just put some coconut in a plastic ziplock bag and add a few drops of green food coloring. Shake until well mixed!

Add a small amount of frosting to the bottom of a PEEPS® bunny or chick and stick it to the top of the donut nest!

Put them together on a platter and serve!

I have another fun Easter PEEPS® treat to share with you today. This one is pretty simple as well and would be great to bring with you to a party or make for your family sometime this week or even on Easter day! If you missed my other Easter treats, make sure to look here!

PEEPS® Easter Pudding Cups

What you need:

Small Graham Cracker Pie Crusts

Chocolate Pudding (prepared)

PEEPS®

Frosting, Coconut and/or Sprinkles (whatever you would like to decorate your cups with!)

How to make:

Prepare the chocolate pudding as directed to on the box. Once it is soft set, pour it into each of the small graham cracker pie crusts / bowls.

As the pudding is setting, stick a PEEPS® bunny into each cup. Within 5 minutes or so, your pudding will set fully and the bunny shouldn’t move.

Add whatever toppings you would like to make “grass”. I used green coconut, green sprinkles and green frosting to make a variety of looks and tastes!

Keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve!

That’s it! It could even be fun to bring all the toppings out and let kids (and adults!) decorate their own!Disclosure: “The PEEPS® product, information and gift have been provided by Just Born Retail Group.”
